Thanks for your thoughts. That’s great you got a CX-50 and enjoy driving it. I’m also having a lot of fun driving my CX-50.I dont know how many people are in the same boat, but I just leased my CX-50 and I was kind of on the fence between the CX-50, V60 CC leasing new or buying used. I think the CX-50 is all SUV unlike the V60 which is really a wagon. The proportions on the side view make it look like a baby CX-9 with similar lines IMO but it really drives much better. My wifes CX-9 is a hauler but the cockpit on this thing is just so much more engaging. 100 miles in an I couldnt be happier.
Yep, Sports Wagon it is! I’ve always loved “station wagons”. Love this car. Nice pics and color.To answer your question, yes, I think that is the best description for it. I'm brand new to the car (yes, I will always call it a 'car') as I just picked mine up a few days ago. My previous two vehicles were a Jeep Grand Cherokee and a Kia Sorento and the CX-50 is definitely in a completely different category from those. It doesn't look like a traditional SUV, I'd say the proportions remind me more of a Subaru Crosstrek than anything else with the low roof and high ground clearance. So yeah, Sports Wagon definitely fits!
Yeah, I agree, also like wagons. Please post some pics after you lower your CX-50, thanksYes, this is exactly why I wanted one... in fact I will look into lowering mine to make it even more like a wagon! Coming (originally) from the UK, I've never understood why Americans reject wagons. They have the best compromise of driving like a car, but with the extra space to cart stuff.
Thanks, I also like station wagons, especially "sports wagons"Yep, Sports Wagon it is! I’ve always loved “station wagons”. Love this car. Nice pics and color.
Thanks for your thoughts, I agree, the CX-50 handles very well through corners, with minimal body rollI owned and loved a 2015 Volvo V60 until it was rear-ended in 2019. My CX-50 Turbo is similar in many ways, but larger feeling. The one thing that sticks out to me every time I drive it, is how flat it is through corners. Body roll is so minimal that despite being larger, it feels sportier than the Volvo. Definitely a sport wagon.
